About the Book

It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living is a collection of original essays and expanded testimonials written to teens by celebrities (like Ellen), political leaders (like Barack Obama), and everyday people. While many of these teens can’t see a positive future for themselves, we can. We can show LGBTQ+ youth the kind of happiness, potential, and satisfaction their lives hold if they can just get through these early years.

So far, the It Gets Better Project has distributed over 3,000 copies of the book to schools and libraries across the U.S. It’s available for purchase at your local LGBTQ+ bookstore and on Amazon.com.
